Happy National Ice Cream Month!

Today was the last Sunday of National Ice Cream Month, so we just had to venture out for some frozen confection. It’s be a shame if we didn’t.

It was recommended that we visit Zoyo Neighborhood Yogurt. (It is where Spoonz used to be located at on Thomas Road by Target.)

I know this technically isn’t ice cream, but they had Cake Batter froyo! My favorite! I haven’t been able to find it since Yum Yums moved to Wisconsin. And, fresh fruit! Whipped cream is available upon request, but it is not on the topping bars.Continue reading →

Happy National Ice Cream Day!

Today, we took Lily to Girl Scout camp, so we stopped along the way to celebration National Ice Cream Day. It also happens to be National Ice Cream Month!

We went to yo 2 go in Columbia City. Yes, it’s frozen yogurt, and not technically ice cream, but we haven’t been here in forever!

I have tried the Vanilla and Orange Sorbet. I really wish that they would have Cake Batter on my visits. Their topping selection doesn’t have all of the fresh fruits that I would like, but there are other goodies that make up for it (mini peanut butter cups, lots of different nuts, crushed Butterfingers).

I love that they have higher quality spoons that we can take home and wash, as opposed to the plastic spoons that many places have. We save our spoons from each visit. The kids love using them at home.

I also really love that this is a small town, family owned business. They started it due to their own son’s dairy allergy. There’s the sweet story here.

Yesterday was so busy and exhausting that we were too tired after our guests left. We didn’t want to drag two kids out for ice cream. National ice cream month or not. It was not worth it.

I’m glad we waited.

I asked around for some recommendations for unique ice cream spots that we hadn’t been to yet. The Internet never disappoints!

My only complaint was that we went at a peak time, around 7pm. While there wasn’t a line to get ice cream, all of the indoor seating was full. We sat outside, thankfully, it wasn’t hot or humid.

I really wish that I would have looked at the menu a little more in-depth before ordering. I went strictly with an ice cream cone in mind. I completely ignored their coffee offerings! I definitely need to make a return trip to try those!
